Ben’s touch leaves a trail of fire in its wake. His hands and mouth move over me with a hunger that makes my knees weak. I cling to him, drowning in the sensations he evokes.

There’s a ferocity to his passion that thrills me to the core. Ben is a force of nature, intense and all-consuming. He loves me with his whole being, just as I love him.

When he lifts me into his arms and carries me into the bedroom, my heart swells with affection. Rose petals are strewn across the bed, and candles flicker in the dim light.

Ben lowers me onto the silk sheets. “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

I reach up to caress his cheek. “And you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Emotion flickers in his gaze. Ben isn’t a man of many words, but he shows me how he feels in every scorching kiss, every reverent touch.

He undresses me slowly, his fingers brushing against my sensitised skin. By the time he lowers himself over me, we’re both trembling with need.

“I love you,” he rasps, positioning himself at my entrance.

Tears prick at my eyes as he eases inside me. No matter how many times we come together, the experience is always profound. Our connection is bone-deep, eternal.

We move together, gasps and moans filling the air. The tension coils tighter and tighter within me until I shatter around him, crying out his name.

Ben follows soon after, his face buried in my neck as he finds his release. We remain joined for long moments, hearts pounding against each other.

There is no place I’d rather be than in Ben’s arms. Here, wrapped up in his embrace, I’ve found my home.

Ben rolls onto his back, pulling me with him so that I’m draped across his chest. His heart thumps steadily under my ear as his fingers trace idle patterns along my spine.

“That was…” I trail off, unable to find the words. Mind-blowing. Soul-searing. Life-affirming. They all pale in comparison to the depth of emotion and pleasure we share.

Ben presses a kiss to my hair. “It’s always incredible with you.”

I smile, basking in the warmth of his affection and the lingering afterglow of our lovemaking. Here, in this perfect moment, I feel whole. Complete. As though all the missing pieces of my life have finally slotted into place.

Ben is my heart, my home, my everything.

“What are you thinking about?” he asks softly.

“How much I love you. How happy you make me.”

His arms tighten around me. “You’re my world, Flore. My always.”

Tears prick at my eyes at the raw emotion in his tone. This fierce, powerful man loves me with all that he is. I still can’t quite believe I’m fortunate enough to be his.

“As you are mine,” I whisper.

Ben kisses me again, slow and deep and full of promise. “Forever yours. In this life and the next.”

I meet his gaze, seeing my own feelings reflected in his eyes. “Forever and always.”

Our vows were only the beginning. Every day we choose each other, and every day I fall deeper in love with this incredible man.

The future is ours to explore, side by side and hand in hand, and I can’t wait to see what adventures lie in store for us. But for now, being here in Ben’s arms is enough.

Perfect. Whole. Home.

This is all I need.

Ben trails a hand down my spine, his touch igniting sparks along my nerve endings. I arch into him with a sigh, desire pooling low in my belly.

“You’re so beautiful,” he rasps. “So perfect.”
